2003 C32 anyone??

Hey guys,

I was looking around at prices for a C32 and found one that has something that's very hard to believe. 2003 Desert Silver C32 AMG with a transferable 178,000 mile 2018 EXTENDED WARRANTY $18,995 and has 79,000 miles.

I called the guy and he confirmed that it wasn't a typo. You know what this means? No need for a car till 2018
2003 Desert Silver C32 AMG with a transferable 178,000 mile 2018 EXTENDED WARRANTY, Brand New High Performance Tires, New factory replaced supercharger, my car is in good condition and well taken care of by Mercedes-Benz of West Covina, it has brand new brake pads, supercharger replaced under extened warr. exellent paint very clean car must see, all stock, Medium tint, auto dimming mirrors, Xenon Headlights, VERY FAST, also has a Custom Fully Funtional IPOD adapter that can be controled from the steering wheel with the CD Changer controls. This car has every option ex. navi. Non smoker, exellent interior, 2 keys,all scheduled maint. done by Mercedes-Benz. Contact, Nick (626) 536-9027 if you have any questions!

In my case

Had I really knew about AMG's, more about warranty, and how much they go for.. I might've wound up with something different now
But whatever. Live and learn.

its impossible to pick up an extended warranty on these cars. no one other than MBs CPO program will do it. The supercharger scares them

This is not the first time I have seen that amazing warranty spoken of. I have no idea how good it might be. Of course by SA standards that's a good price - I can get that or more for my C240 with service record & no mods - mods kill price here - but in this market an 80,000 mile C32 has been thrashed & is distinctly tired. IMHO you really need to know the previous owner if you are going to buy a used AMG car. Only very few look after them properly. They might be cosmetically good but the mechanicals - well????

Yeah, but what company is the extended warranty provided by? It might be some sh***y company that covers barely anything.

Do MB superchargers usually go up before 80k miles when driven properly?

There's a big difference between the factory warranty and a warranty provided by a third party insurance broker contracted to a particular dealership. You might want to read through a detailed explanation of their policy. For instance, it might only cover things like power train or transmission failure, but not other nitty gritty stuff. For what it's worth, I would definitely recommend a read through!

That is, if this is the warranty offered on the car...buyer beware

I just bought my 2003 C32 with 67,000 miles for $19,400, plus paid $3500 for a 39 month unlimited mileage service contract through Chrysler.

Probably paid too much.....but eh....

Interesting video. My personal feeling on these warranties is that they are a waste of money. If someone bought one of these warranties with every car they ever owned and the cost was added up they would always come out on the losing end. One or two they may come out ahead on, but over all they would come out behind.

Yeah, I was offered one when buying my car used...and it was $4,600 or something..I chuckled and kindly declined. It was really interesting to find out that the president of US Fidelis is a convicted felon...

As long as you are happy and know that you are in the clear from expensive repairs then it's all good.
